SMART on FHIR App Uses Machine Learning to Help Dermatologists Make Diagnoses

CoxHealth, a Springfield, Missouri-based health system, is using the VisualDx app that uses medical images, visualization and machine learning to help compare variations of disease to get to a more accurate diagnosis.

VisualDx is what’s called a SMART on FHIR app. It is integrated into the health system’s Cerner electronic health records system. Having the application integrated into the EHR saves physicians time by having it available at the bedside or with a patient in an examination room and linked to patient data.

Having the EHR integration saves time by allowing physicians to start searching for information faster since it’s already integrated into the record.
